 * Welke Debian-versie heb ik?
 * Ik heb dus wheezy, op dit moment is dat stable.

Drivers (fglrx)
The proprietary "AMD Catalyst Linux Graphics Driver" (aka fglrx) provides optimized hardware acceleration of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X server. It is a binary-only Xorg driver requiring a Linux kernel module for its use.

Two driver versions are available for Debian 7 "Wheezy":

* AMD Catalyst 12.6 point release * For Radeon HD 7000, Radeon HD 6000 and Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs. * AMD Catalyst Legacy 13.1 via [|wheezy-backports] (legacy GPUs) * For Radeon HD 4000, Radeon HD 3000 and Radeon HD 2000 series GPUs.

All versions above are available only for the x86 and x86-64 architectures (Debian i386 and AMD64 ports respectively).

AMD Catalyst 12.6
For support of Radeon HD 7000, Radeon HD 6000 and Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs. For older devices, see AMD Catalyst Legacy 13.1.

uname -a Linux Sproet 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 i686 GNU/Linux uname -r 3.2.0-4-686-pae apt-get install linux-headers-686-pae apt-mark auto linux-headers-686-pae apt-get install fglrx-driver -qs
 * If you had not already done that add "contrib" and "non-free" sections of repository "debian" to /etc/apt/sources.list, and don't forget to run apt-get update to update the package cache.
 * Now you need to find out what headers of the Linux kernel you need:
 * ommit the version number (3.2.0) and ommit the revision number (4) and you know what headers you need 686-pae
 * Was al geïnstalleerd. Dat kan je weer op ``set automatically installed´´ zetten met
 * Nu kun je de closed source driver eindelijk AMD Catalyst Linux Graphics Driver (aka fglrx) installeren:
 * This will also install the recommended fglrx-modules-dkms package. DKMS will build the fglrx module for your system.
 * Create an Xorg server configuration file. Het moeilijkste.
 * Restart your system to enable the radeon blacklist. Hmm wat bedoelen ze hier nou weer mee?

AMD Catalyst Legacy 13.1
For support of Radeon HD 4000, Radeon HD 3000 and Radeon HD 2000 series GPUs.

1. Add [|Debian Backports] sources to, also including the "contrib" and "non-free" components. For example: 1. Update the list of available packages. Install the appropriate linux-headers and fglrx-legacy-driver packages: This will also install the recommended fglrx-legacy-modules-dkms package. DKMS will build the fglrx module for your system. 1. Create an Xorg server configuration file. 1. Restart your system to enable the radeon blacklist.

Configuration
As the fglrx driver is not autodetected by Xorg, a configuration file is required to be supplied. For example:

The configuration file above can be created using these commands:

Restart your system at this point to enable the radeon driver blacklist.

Multi Monitor
Put a "Virtual" Line in your xorg.conf if you get an error message about resolution limits when you try to rearrange your monitors or try to disable desktop mirroring in the gnome monitor settings.

Example:

Troubleshooting
* The fglrx driver conflicts with the radeon DRM driver. The radeon kernel module is blacklisted by the DebianPkg:fglrx-driver or DebianPkg:glx-alternative-fglrx packages. * Restart your system after configuring Xorg for the fglrx driver.
